Argument preview: Evaluating the INA's citizenship-transmission requirement
Pursuant to the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952 (as in effect at the time of petitioner's birth in 1974), a child born outside the United States to unmarried parents "" a U.S.-citizen mother and a non-citizen father "" can obtain U.S. citizenship at birth if his mother was physically present in the United States for a minimum of one year before the child's birth. By contrast, a child born outside the United States to unmarried parents ""a U.S.-citizen father and a non-citizen mother "" can obtain U.S. citizenship only if the father was physically present in the United States for at least ten years, five of which must have been after the father's fourteenth birthday.
Petitioner Ruben Flores-Villar was born in 1974 in Tijuana, Mexico. His father "" then sixteen years old "" was a U.S. citizen, while his mother was a Mexican national; the two were not married. With the consent of Flores-Villar's mother, his father and paternal grandmother raised the child in California. In 1985, his father formally recognized him as his son by filing a paternity acknowledgement in Mexico and by claiming him on his U.S. income taxes.
In 1997, Flores-Villar began a two-year prison sentence for importing marijuana. After serving his sentence, he was removed from the United States, but he re-entered and was re-deported several times over the next eight years. When he was subsequently indicted for his illegal presence in the United States, Flores-Villar sought to defend himself by claiming that he had obtained citizenship through his father. His citizenship application was denied, however, because his father had not been present in the United States for at least five years after the father's fourteenth birthday. Flores-Villar also contended that the INA's physical-presence requirement violated the Fifth Amendment because it treated unwed fathers differently from unwed mothers, who needed only to have been physically present in the United States for at least one year. The district court rejected this claim, and Flores-Villar was sentenced to forty-two months in prison.
On appeal, the Ninth Circuit affirmed. Relying on the Supreme Court's 2001 decision in Nguyen v. INS (2001), in which the Court rejected an equal protection challenge to the INA's requirement that a U.S.-citizen father (but not a U.S.-citizen mother) establish a connection to an out-of-wedlock child who is born outside the United States (by, for example, acknowledging the child's legitimacy) but wishes to obtain citizenship. The court of appeals explained that the government's interests in avoiding stateless children and having a connection between the United States and the child of a U.S.-citizen father were "no less important" and "no less substantially related" than the interests at issue in Nguyen. Moreover, while acknowledging that there was not a "perfect" fit between the statute's objectives and the means employed to achieve them, the court deemed the fit "sufficiently persuasive in light of" Congress's plenary power over immigration and naturalization. Flores-Villar filed a petition for certiorari, which the Court granted on March 22.
In his brief on the merits, Flores-Villar again argues that the INA's residency requirements denies equal protection to the foreign-born children of unwed U.S.-citizen fathers. Under the version of the INA in effect when he was born, Flores-Villar notes, it is impossible for a U.S.-citizen father to transmit citizenship to a child born before the father's nineteenth birthday.
Because the statute in question involves gender discrimination, and because of what he describes as "the significance of citizens' interest in transmitting citizenship to their children," Flores-Villar urges the Court to apply intermediate scrutiny to the residency requirement. Moreover, Congress's "plenary power" does not warrant a lower level of scrutiny, because the issue here "" the acquisition of citizenship at birth "" "is fundamentally different from the immigration or nationalization of an alien," he argues. And in any event, the residency requirement cannot withstand even survive rational basis review, as the government has not met its burden of demonstrating that the discriminatory requirements served a legitimate purpose "" in this case, allowing the foreign-born children of an unwed U.S.-citizen parent to avoid statelessness.
Nor, Flores-Villar continues, did the Ninth Circuit properly rely on Nguyen. He contends that the distinctions upheld by the Court in that ruling were "biologically based," whereas the gender-based distinction in his own case "" the imposition of an age-based residency requirement on fathers but not on mothers "" has no basis in biology. Thus, Flores-Villar asks the Court to extend the shorter residency requirement imposed on unwed U.S.-citizen mothers of foreign-born children to fathers as well.
In its own merits brief, the government counters that the Court should defer to Congress's intent to reduce the number of children born stateless. Although it agrees that the rational basis review is appropriate, the government contends that the residency requirement could not withstand intermediate scrutiny either, explaining that "there is no serious dispute that reducing the number of children born stateless is an important government objective."
Moreover, the government contends, Flores-Villar lacks standing to bring an equal protection challenge to the residency requirement on his father's behalf. Because Flores-Villar's father never asserted his own claim, and because Flores-Villar himself never suffered unequal treatment as a result of his own gender, the claim cannot be properly raised here.
Finally, the government argues that, even if the residency requirement is unconstitutional, Flores-Villar would not be entitled to have his conviction reversed on the ground that he has always been a U.S. citizen. Instead of extending the residency requirement for unwed U.S-citizen mothers to unwed U.S.-citizen fathers, the government contends, the proper remedy for the perceived equal protection violation would be to apply the longer residency requirements currently imposed on fathers to mothers as well.

Going off the beaten track to take in the sights and sounds of Ireland isn't just highly recommended, it's a must, says Brian Keogh
Skimming golf balls 200 yards at a gong on the lake at the famous Gap of Dunloe – as Irish 2014 Ryder Cup captain Paul McGinley and a handful of top professionals did a few years ago — is mightily impressive.
Filmed as part of the "Every Shot Imaginable campaign" for the European Tour, the challenge was to skim a ball 200 yards across a lake and hit a nine-inch gong. But as stunning as the European Tour's "Every Shot Imaginable" series was, Pádraig Harrington can work wonders all on his own.
Yes, Gareth Maybin's trick shot – The Impossible Shot – was worth seeing. However, Harrington's repertoire went a little further – and before you think it, no ball collectors were injured during the Dubliner's session at Royal Portrush on the Antrim coast, the venue for the 2019 Open Championship.
Then there was his blindfolded shot at Dun Laoghaire Golf Club on the Dublin-Wicklow border — host venue for the Curtis Cup matches between the top women amateurs from the USA and the cream of Great Britain and Ireland in 2016. Faced with a135-yard shot to the hole, with only his caddie Ronan Flood to help line him up, Harrington was placed behind two trees and asked to find a 9ft target. Did he make it?
Golfing in Ireland can make you laugh and its challlenges can make you cry... all in the one round, such is the draw of over 400 courses across the island.

"Players love coming over for the Irish Open," says Paul McGinley. "It's important to be different from the other stops on tour and they always have a great time in Ireland because there is so much to see away from the golf course."
While Paul McGinley might have grown up playing at Grange Golf Club in the foothills of the Dublin mountains, with his mother hailing from Rathmullan and father from Dunfanaghy, County Donegal is close to his heart. Despite being a proud Dubliner, McGinley would be the first to tell you to jump in the car and head to the northwest and County Donegal.
The beautiful links at Portsalon is one of his favourites, but he's equally smitten by Royal Portrush, just across in County Antrim.
That's also a favourite of proud Northern Irishman and European Tour star Gareth Maybin, who is a bit of a trick shot artist in his spare time!
In our video, Maybin shows off his repertoire of crazy shots at Ballyclare Golf Club near Belfast. It's one of 27 clubs in County Antrim alone, and Maybin particularly recommends it for its warm welcome.
When he's not travelling the world, Maybin loves to get out and about in Ireland and, while Northern Ireland's finest courses are top of his agenda, another favourite is the Old Head of Kinsale Golf Links in County Cork.
"It's just the location and the spectacular scenery down there on the southern tip of Ireland," he says. "Plus it's a pretty good golf course as well. We've so many to choose from. Royal Portrush, Portmarnock and Baltray are fantastic; and Hilton Templepatrick near my home in Belfast is a great young course."
Take your pick…Who knows, you might even come across some golfing tricksters just attempting the impossible.

Your blog makes me feel better about having to call my neurologist last week. I had to leave the following message, " This is Trigem. I know I have an appt this month but I can't remember when. Please call me back and let me know when to show up."
At least I know I am not the only nut out there. I called during regular office hours at least.

It's okay, I get a lot of "Hey, can you call my doctor for a new prescription? I don't know what it's called but it's for my stomach." Then there's the "Can you call my doctor for more refills on my [insert name of non-emergency drug, frequently it's a pain medication]?" around 8PM or near pharmacy closing time when doctor's office is obviously closed.

My doctor has one of these tablet things, I think they are called I Pads, and he tap taps and taps again and the script is electronically transmitted to the pharmacy. He waits, they back check he taps again. I go and pick it up. Just saying.

Compare services that send money to Myanmar from the UK
How to send money to Myanmar in 3 steps
- Choose a money transfer provider. Check rates, transfer fees and more in our table. Then pick the best one for your money transfer needs.
- Create an account. Go to the provider's site. You'll be asked to enter your information, which may include providing identification, a phone number, an address and bank details.
- Pick your payment method and make your transfer. You can usually choose to pay from your bank account, credit card or debit card and the money will be deposited into your recipient's account, or sent to a cash pick up location in Myanmar.
How do I compare money transfer companies when sending money to Myanmar?
As with any product, you'll find the best deal by shopping around. When you're using our table to compare, keep the following in mind:
- Exchange rate and fees. Make sure you compare both. While one company might offer a great rate, it might charge higher fees. On the other hand, a company offering a poorer rate may have low or zero fees. Equally, some providers will waive fees if you're transferring a larger amount.
- Pick up methods. Some transfer companies require that you transfer funds to the recipient's bank account. Others give recipients the option of picking up cash, which can be particularly useful if the recipient does not have a bank account.
- Transfer methods. If you're dealing with a mainstream bank you can visit a branch to transfer funds. Otherwise, depending on the service provider you choose, you can transfer funds over the phone, on an app, online, at stores or at specific kiosks.
- Transfer time. If the recipient needs money in a hurry, your best bet is to look for a service that allows cash pickups because this method normally takes no more than a day. Bank account transfers can take between one and five business days.
- Minimum transfer amounts. The minimum you can transfer can vary from one service provider to the next. While some may let you transfer as little as one Great Britain pound, some others have minimum limits as high as £1,000.
- Customer service. If you plan on transferring money to Myanmar on an ongoing basis, you may want to look for a company that offers high levels of customer service, along with support via phone, chat and email.

At some point or another every Christian will experience a satanic attack-a willful, determined assault by the Devil for the purpose of harming our spirit, soul, or body. God wants Christians to be under His control, but the Enemy will do his best to destroy everything good in our lives. So the question is not how to avoid satanic attacks, but how to overcome them. Satan is not omnipotent, but he is nonetheless a very powerful adversary. However, God does not leave us to defend ourselves, and He wants us to understand His supernatural and unlimited ability to help us. Dr. Stanley will show readers how to achieve victory by: Identifying the enemy Dressing in the full armor of God and standing firm Releasing God's energy, divine power, and protection through prayer Sensing the forewarnings of Satan's attacks on finances, family, relationships, or health Spiritual warfare is fought every day on the battlefield of your mind. The Adversary knows that if he can influence and direct your thinking, it's only a matter of time before you're vulnerable to the allure of sin. Dr. Stanley teaches that to stand against Satan's attacks, you must meditate upon biblical principles and take every thought captive by arming yourself with the sword of the spirit-God's Word.Stanley, Charles F. is the author of 'When The Enemy Strikes The Keys To Winning Your Spiritual Battles', published 2004 under ISBN 9780785266105 and ISBN 0785266100.[read more]

The global economy is difficullt. I guess it averages out over time, but transition is painful. I guess it's always been painful in the developing world and we in the west are coming to appreciate what painful is. Many of my former co-workers have now been replaced by outsourced labour with development shifted to the east.
I guess this is now way OT and in dangerous territory.

Julian Assange has hit back at Attorney General George Brandis for saying the Wikileaks founder should be "man enough" to face Swedish sexual assault allegations.
A Swedish court on Wednesday upheld an arrest warrant against Assange. The warrant was issued in 2010 over allegations of rape and sexual molestation which Assange has denied.
The court's decision is another setback for the 43-year-old Australian, who has been holed up at the Ecuadorian embassy in London for more than two years in a bid to avoid extradition to Sweden.
Assange says he fears that if he goes to Sweden he will be extradited on to the United States to face charges for publishing classified material.
But Senator Brandis says Assange should face the claims.
"I think Mr Assange should be man enough to face the allegations against him of being a sexual predator," he told ABC radio on Thursday.
Assange says Senator Brandis had merely stolen comments US Secretary of State John Kerry made about intelligence whistleblower Edward Snowden.
"AG Brandis should stop plagiarising sexist claptrap and start doing his job: defending the legal rights of all Australians," Assange said in a statement to AAP, sent by his Australian lawyer Greg Barns.
Courage is not the sole preserve of men, Assange said.
"WikiLeaks' female staff members, who squared off with a superpower over our work and brought Edward Snowden to safety during the largest intelligence manhunt the world has ever seen, have more genuine courage in their little toes than the entire Abbott cabinet."

By Benita Jeune and Brooke Nevils
Rock Center
She's one of the most successful children's authors in the world. Her "Magic Tree House" chapter books have been translated into 32 languages, with sales of more than 100 million copies worldwide. She's published 48 installments of the series so far, and her adoring fans, who are mostly in the 6-10 year old age range, consider Mary Pope Osborne to be nothing less than a rock star, lining up for autographs at her readings and greeting her tour bus with ecstatic screams.
The best-selling books chronicle the adventures of Jack and Annie, a brother and sister who discover a tree house filled with books that let them time travel back to wherever the book is set: the Civil War, the Titanic, even Elizabethan England to meet William Shakespeare. Along the way, they have hair-raising encounters with dragons, tigers, tsunamis and twisters.
Yet if you've never heard of Mary Pope Osborne, it's probably because despite being flooded with offers, she has adamantly refused to commercialize the stars of her books. You can't buy any Jack and Annie toys, and you won't see a Jack and Annie TV show or a Magic Tree House movie series any time soon.
"When people really started coming to me, I thought, what am I doing with the books? I'm trying to ignite the imagination of a child. I'm trying to get them to picture themselves as Jack and Annie," Osborne told Rock Center's Meredith Vieira in an exclusive interview. "Because the books were selling really well, I had the privilege of not having to license the characters for the sake of income and I could really decide to do what my heart wanted to do, which was not take Jack and Annie out of children's imaginations."
What's most important to her, Osborne says, is simply that children read.
Earlier this year, she came across a study that found that children who do not master reading by 3rd grade are four times more likely to drop out of high school than their peers who are proficient readers. She was so troubled by the study, she personally donated a set of her first 28 books to every third grader in Newark, New Jersey, where many kids struggle with reading.

"I've talked to people who, because of books, got an education, ended up going to college, ending up seeing a big world and finding a place in it," says Osborne. " You co-create when you read. You picture things. You grow up and you think you've lived those adventures. That's why I think if children can't read, they're denying themselves a huge chunk of life."
Osborne is constantly pushing the educational component of her books. The series, which is widely used in grade school classrooms, comes with a companion series of 26 non-fiction "Fact-Trackers," written by Mary's husband Will Osborne and her sister, Natalie Osborne Boyce. Osborne even created a curriculum guide she calls the Classroom Adventures Program , which provides free lesson plans for educators.
And according to Jacqueline Haley, principal of the Old Mill Pond elementary school in Palmer, Massachusetts, Osborne's books are making a big difference to young readers.
"I walk into classrooms and I see kids that are engaged in reading and excited about reading," she says. "These kids, they don't have action figures. They dress up like the characters. We have students that took a refrigerator box and made a tree house, and then they imagine that they're the characters in the stories. I think it's great that they use their imaginations."
Osborne has received thousands of letters from her avid fans, many of them suggesting topics and titles for new books. One fan, nine-year-old Molly Freer, was so inspired by the books that she began writing and hosting her own episodes of the Magic Tree House News on YouTube.
Osborne, who didn't even publish her first Magic Tree House book until she was in her 40s, says she feels a great responsibility not to disappoint her fans.
"If I do a book signing and they come up and I can just have that little moment where each child just gets something, that connection -- that feeds me," says Osborne. "Because they see me as a rock star, strictly because I write books. And for a child to value someone who writes books is so extraordinary to me, and so special, that I want to be the person they want me to be so that they will always have an enthusiasm for books."

I've decided it doesn't count as a scramble unless you pose at the summit with an ice ax.
On Saturday, I hiked Mount Persis with a group from the Everett Mountaineers. We did a lot of posing for photos.
Perhaps you remember Saturday? Warm, sunny, gorgeous clear skies and a stunning rainbow around the sun?
We couldn't have picked a better day for a scramble up Mount Persis.
Persis is, as far as scrambles go, not very intimidating. There's not a lot of exposure. We had out our ice axes, but I mostly used it for support on a few slick spots — and of course for posing for photos at the summit.
The trip starts out on a forest road at an unmarked trail. It's more of a boot path, really, and it starts out steep. I think my calf muscles were a few inches longer by the time the route leveled out. The trail is overgrown in many places, but we were able to follow it without too much trouble. Orange tape and cairns helped us make it up the first ridge.
Once up that ridge, the route levels out a bit, and we started encountering snow. If you know how to use a map and compass, this isn't a particularly hard route to follow. I would not do this trip, however, if you're not comfortable with those.
We continued through the snow and trees for awhile, pausing to admire the views of Persis on the way up. Persis is impressively cliff like and rugged from the front. We were going up the back, though. Eventually the trees thinned out and we continued through open terrain until we reached the summit.
All along the way, there were many exclamations of delight. "Look! Baker! Look! Rainier! Look! Seattle! Look! Puget Sound!"
At the top, we repeated all of those and more. From Persis, you have a stunning view of Mount Index, which is only about 2 miles away, as the crow flies. You can also see Baker, Shuksan, the Olympics and Mount Rainier. We could even see Hat Island and Everett.
The view was incredible, and we all spent a lot of time spinning in circles and taking it all in. We also spent a lot of time taking photos. How could we resist?
We watched a few hawks circle lazily over head. We never did figure out what they were for sure. Red-tailed hawks was the best guess of the group. We also admired the view of two big rings around the sun, an interesting phenomenon that people all over the Puget Sound area could see.
I was happy to see the USGS marker at the summit. I always find those fascinating.
The route down was slick once we reached the steepest part of the trail. I spent a lot of time using the conveniently placed vegetation as a "veggie belay." There's one advantage to overgrown trails.
The trip up took us about 3 and a half hours. We spent a leisurely hour at the summit and the trip down took just over 2 hours.
After we finished, one of the scramblers suggested a slight detour up U.S. 2 to get milkshakes at Bigfoot Espresso near Index. I had a slight geek-out when I learned that part of "Harry and the Hendersons" was filmed there. I've even stopped there before and never noticed it.
Anyways, Bigfoot Espresso has fabulous coffee and milkshakes. They have a ton of options. I got chocolate and caramel. It was good. Next time I'm going to try mango and coconut, which someone else had and loved.
If you'd like to try Persis yourself, the WTA has driving directions. One note. When the directions say to turn left on Forest Service road 6620 after 3.5 miles, pay attention. A new logging road has been added since these directions were written. It's a left at exactly 3.5 miles. Don't take this turn. It's a horrible, horrible road and ends pretty quickly at a slash pile and turn around. (Yes, we did find this out the hard way. I'm glad I wasn't driving. Our driver took it all in stride.) Instead, go around one more bend in the road and you'll find the correct Forest Service road. I did not see a marker, but I may have missed it. Other than that, the directions are good.

A few years ago, the mainstream world was quaking with news that Google was launching its own desktop operating system, Chrome OS. Imagine: Google was finally going up against the likes of Microsoft and Apple for control of users desktops! The idea behind Chrome OS was that Google would leverage its dominance of Web services to launch a cloud-based OS, meaning the computer itself could be a lightweight, inexpensive, highly portable device. It would gain its functionality by tapping into Web-based services like Gmail, Picasa, Google Docs and (of course) Google's Chrome Web browser. Sure, Chrome OS might not be able to do much without an Internet connection — but these days, that's true for most people too, right?
Not quite. Chrome OS hasn't emerged as the threat to the likes of Windows and Mac OS X. In fact, it's barely a footnote. Other than Chrome OS developers, virtually no consumers have set hands on Chrome OS, even though it's been available for almost a year and a half.
Now, Google seems intent on giving Chrome OS a facelift, moving its interface closer to the world of traditional desktop operating systems rather than the one-app-at-a-time world of most mobile devices and tablets. Will the move give Chrome OS the flexibility to finally fit into users' lives? Or is it a step backwards from the way the rest of the world is thinking?
It's a small window after all
Chrome OS has primarily been defined by its simplicity as a browser-driven operating system. The original premise was that users would rely almost exclusively on Web-based applications — no software to download, no updates, no maintenance to perform. They could just keep signing in to apps that continually added features and new capabilities. As such, Chrome OS treats the entire display as a single browser window: With everything based on Web technologies, there's no need for a desktop or anything but a browser, right? And without a traditional OS's overhead, Chrome OS could be small and fast, with instant resumes and boot times under 10 seconds.
With Chrome OS 19, now available as a developer build, Google is changing that with an updated window manager and a redesigned UI. Suddenly, Chrome OS can support multiple, resizable windows. But that's not all: Chrome OS 19 also picks up a desktop (complete with app icons) and a task bar. And Chrome OS 19 picks up other desktop OS standards like wallpaper. Suddenly Chrome OS is starting to look a lot like Windows 7 — at least on the surface.
The change is due to Aura, which aims to not only bring common desktop user interface elements to Chrome OS — it wants to make them sexy. Aura relies on hardware acceleration in graphics controllers to offer large-scale animations and transitions and a rich visual experience. In other words, Google wants Aura to make Chrome OS the sort of rich, media-deep experience people are used to getting on high-end tablets and typical notebook computers.
Aura, in turn, is the basis for Ash, or the Aura Shell. Ash relies on Aura to build the new interface elements in Chrome OS 19, including the desktop and window manager.
Google's intent with Aura and Ash seems pretty clear: It wants to bring Chrome OS to additional platforms and form factors where jamming everything into a single screen-devouring window may not be the best choice. An obvious move here might be big-screen devices like televisions (although Google TV is based on Android), but other candidates include multiple-monitor setups, such as for presentations or work setups for "docked" notebooks. Mirroring across two displays might work for presenting charts and graphs, but it's not really optimal for doing actual work or (say) reading email and using a Web app at the same time.
Chrome OS users who like the one-window-all-the-time approach don't really have anything to fear: It's very easy to keep the Chrome OS 19 world as one all-encompassing app.
Another goal of Aura is to enable Chrome OS to run on Windows. To do that, it needs cross-platform code and a UI layer that can scale to different hardware platforms, rather than the still-very-limited world of Chromebooks.
Circus maximized
Chrome's move towards a traditional desktop computer interface seems contrarian in a world shifting fast towards a one-app-at-a-time mentality. Anyone who has used a smartphone or tablet device in the last three years knows mobile devices only put on app on screen at a time. Sure, other applications may be running in the background, but the device's operating systems don't let users put them side-by-side. The reasons are simple: Phones and tablets lack the screen real estate to meaningfully manage multiple apps, and permitting side-by-side application usage generates a myriad of unpredictable usage situations that could wreak havoc for operating systems — not to mention battery life. If users need to do two things at once — like, check email and Twitter at the same time — well, that sounds like a problem that presents a wonderful third-party app opportunity! Users can open their wallets and but a new app to do that. It's not something the operating systems will try to address.
The sad reality is that the ability to run apps side-by-side (or one on top of the other) has largely been lost on the majority of computer users for nearly two decades. Most folks use Windows, but they've whittled it down their everyday usage to the singular form: window. They may run multiple apps, but they run them all maximized, full screen, so all they can see at any given moment is Outlook, or Word, or Excel, or Firefox, or (yup) even IM clients or Solitaire. Dealing with multiple windows at the same time is just too confusing, so users maximize everything and switch between applications modally. They may be running multiple apps, but effectively they're only using one at a time. Using multiple windows — or, heaven forfend, multiple windows per application — has drifted off to the realm of power-user techniques.
It's not just smartphones and tablets. With Mac OS X 10.7 Lion, Apple introduced a full screen mode for applications so users don't have to be troubled with the notion of more than one program running at the same time — it's part of Apple's effort to bring technologies promulgated in iOS "back to the Mac."
What's more, Microsoft will be waving goodbye to multiple windows in Windows 8, what's sure to be the 800-pound gorilla of desktop operating world. Sure, Windows 8 will still feature a traditional Windows desktop for folks who are used to it, but the new Metro-style interface will be limited to one app at at time for folks with a display smaller than 1,366 by 768 pixels. Running it at that resolution or higher will allow you to place two (and only two) apps side-by-side using Metro's "snap" feature. One of those apps can be the traditional Windows desktop (making a Metro app rather like a sidebar), at least on Intel-based systems, but there's no layering. Microsoft is making it clear that Metro is the future, and traditional desktop apps — and their annoying multiple window capability — are now considered legacy technology.
Right now, Chrome OS is limited to Chromebooks — which so far have failed to fly off shelves and into consumers' hands. Although Acer and Samsung cut prices on their Chromebooks before the holidays and a few organizations (like libraries) have tentatively embraced them, Chromebooks remain a rarity on the street. Google has never released sales figures for Chromebooks, but despite big talk about lots of hardware partners itching to jump on the platform, only Acer and Samsung have come out with devices. (Some reports have a beleaguered Sony perhaps preparing a Chromebook.) Last November, DigiTimes reported Acer had sold only 5,000 Chromebooks in five months — and Samsung's sales were even lower.
Adding support for a traditional desktop and multiple windows may increase the appeal of Chromebooks for buyers who don't know what to do without a traditional desktop interface, or those who might consider a Chromebook over a Windows-based ultraportable or netbook. However, that market is already dwindling — netbook sales have declined sharply as tablets like the iPad have taken off. Most consumers looking for a simple notebook are often the same folks who run everything maximized anyway. Multiple windows will not be a selling factor, and the cognitive hurdle of a a Web-dependent notebook will still be a major issue.
Existing Chromebook owners may also find they're left out: Google is not supporting its original CR-48 Chromebook (which debuted at the end of 2010) with Chrome OS 19. It can't meet Aura's requirements for hardware-accelerated graphics. Chrome OS 19 will run on the Samsung Chromebook Series 5 and Acer AC 700 Chromebook. Google says it plans to bring the CR-48 "back onto the release train" sometime after Chrome OS 19, and will continue to push security and other updates to the original Chromebooks as needed.
Where is Chrome OS going?
The fundamental question facing Google's Chrome OS — and Chromebooks — is whether mainstream computer users are ready for a purely Web- and cloud-based computer. Apple and Google are seeing tremendous adoption rates for iOS and Android, and it's easy to argue that those devices are extremely dependent on the Web and cloud services.
However, part of the appeal of downloadable, standalone apps is that many of them function in whole (or in part) without any connectivity at all. Users can still compose email, manage their photo albums, enjoy music and video, play games, and much more, all without Internet connectivity.
With a Chromebook, offline users are essentially restricted to watered-down offline versions of Gmail, Google Calendar, and Google Docs available from the Chrome Web Store. (Did you know there was a Chrome store? It's not in Google Play.) Without connectivity, Chromebooks aren't very useful.
Perhaps it's no surprise I've met exactly two Chromebook owners who weren't Google employees. Who are they? University students angling to (guess what?) get jobs at Google.

Mentor Graphics Corporation (NASDAQ: MENT) today announced the release of a major new product in the HyperLynx® suite, the market-leading, high-speed analysis product line. The HyperLynx DRC product efficiently performs best practice design rule checking (DRC) on printed circuit board (PCB) layout databases. Driven by customizable rules, the HyperLynx DRC product can be executed by engineers and designers during the PCB layout process to quickly highlight potential high-speed design issues pertaining to signal integrity, power integrity, and electromagnetic interference (EMI), without running detailed, time-consuming analysis. Not only will their designs be of improved quality, but correcting problems earlier in the design process can avoid re-design and shorten time-to-market.
One example: Sony Mobile, based in Lund, Sweden, is faced with very compressed engineering schedules to reach time-to-market windows in the mobile phone market. To ensure design quality, Sony Mobile performs design reviews to identify electrical issues related to signal integrity, EMC, and power integrity prior to building a board; however, these review meetings can be very time consuming. "By using HyperLynx DRC we get a structured approach where all nets are equally checked by the tool. We can then focus the review meeting on the critical nets where the tool finds the violations," stated Anders Olsson, senior manager, Lund Development–Electronics System Design at Sony Mobile. "Valuable time can thus be spent on problem solving instead of problem finding. This makes us more efficient in our design process, extending our review coverage, and ensures higher design quality for our customers."
The new HyperLynx DRC product comes with a standard set of coded rules targeted at PCB layout practices that have the potential to cause issues common in high-speed design. These standard rules are parametrically driven so users can customize them to meet specific best practices of their company.
Samples of such issues include the following:
- Electromagnetic interference (EMI) examples:
- Traces crossing plane splits, reference plane changes, nets near board edges, coupling to I/O nets
- Signal integrity (SI) examples:
- Long interconnects, termination checks, impedance variations, crosstalk coupling
- Power distribution network examples:
- Power net width, decoupling cap proximity
- Power net width, decoupling cap proximity
Unlike other DRC products currently on the market, the HyperLynx DRC tool is specifically designed to allow customers to create their own best-practice rules using VBScript and/or Javascript. This gives electronics companies the opportunity to gain a competitive advantage by implementing their intellectual property into the design process in an automated fashion.
"Sometimes simulation is not the optimum approach to look for problems, and HyperLynx DRC is targeted exactly for those situations," stated Dave Kohlmeier, director of analysis products, Systems Design Division, Mentor Graphics. "Our HyperLynx family of products addresses the needs of PCB designers at any stage of development, unmatched by any other toolset on the market today, with the flexibility, ease of use, and immediate, accurate analysis needed for today's design complexity."
HyperLynx DRC is interfaced with all major PCB layout tools including Mentor's Expedition® Enterprise, Board Station® and PADS®, Cadence Allegro and Zuken CR.
Product Availability and Additional Information The HyperLynx DRC product is available now. A webinar on the new HyperLynx DRC technology is being held on Thursday, November 1, 2012.

Develop Retention Schedules
Records Retention Schedule Requirement and Process
State agencies are required under Louisiana R.S. 44:411 to develop and submit a records retention schedule (a listing of their agency's records with the retention requirements to meet their administrative, legal and financial needs) for review and approval by the State Archives. Until a retention schedule has been approved, Louisiana R.S. 44:36 requires agencies to maintain their records for three years from the date the record is made (unless required longer by specific statute). It is important to note that Louisiana R.S. 44:36 does not exempt agencies from developing a records retention schedule or getting approval to dispose of records prior to their disposal as required under Louisiana R.S. 44:411.
The Records Management program oversees the records retention schedule review and approval process. Agencies wishing to submit a records retention schedule should use form SSARC-932 to format their submission for review and approval. Free training classes are offered to assist agencies in the development of their schedules. Information on the classes offered, dates and times can be found on the Get Records Management Training page.
Retention Schedule Development Guidance
Applying an Approved Records Retention Schedule
Once an agency's records retention schedule has been approved, the agency should begin the process to dispose of the records that have met the retention requirements indicated on their schedule. Agencies are required to get authorization to dispose of records (scheduled or unscheduled) from the State Archives before they actually dispose of the records.
Agencies should use form SSARC-930 to request permission to dispose of their records. It is important to note that authorization is required even if the records in question appear on an approved records retention schedule. The process provides documentation that the records were disposed of during the normal course of business and in compliance with an approved records retention schedule. This process also allows the State Archives to request records that may have possible archival value to be transferred to their custody for review and possible inclusion in the State Archives collection. Additionally, this process plays an important role in helping agencies whose records may have been damaged document the damage and assist the State Archives in preventing possible duplicates of damaged records from being disposed of before a request for copies from another agency can be made.
Maintenance of Records Retention Schedule
Once a records retention schedule has been approved, agencies are encouraged to review the schedule annually to see if any changes have occurred operationally or legislatively. In addition, a 2003 change in the administrative rules governing records management requires that an agency renew their records retention schedule every five years. Schedules that were approved more than five years ago and have not been renewed are considered expired.
For more information on the additional information required and the codes used on the SSARC-932, please view this records retention schedule update presentation.

Circular by Design: Daniel Svahn Turns Waste Furniture Into New Furniture
The circular economy is a proposed alternative to our traditional ?take?make?waste? model of production and consumption ? one that offers hope in the face of environmental catastrophes from climate change to ocean plastic. Designing out waste and pollution, keeping materials and products in use and regenerating our natural environment are so important to contemporary design that we have created a dedicated space for the projects bringing these ideas to life. Circular by Design, a fortnightly column by longtime contributor Katie Treggiden, starts by exploring the reuse of waste as a way to keep materials in use and bring the legacy of the linear system full circle.
Stockholm-based product and interior designer Daniel Svahn established his eponymous studio after graduating from Beckmans Collage of Design in 2009 with a BFA in product design. Crediting his inspiration to the everyday things we see all around us ? whether 'small or big, relevant or irrelevant, nice or ugly,' he feels anything can be made into something new if you're observant enough and keep your imagination awake. True to his word, A New Paradigm ? an evolution of the New Goodies but Oldies project he presented at the 2020 Stockholm Furniture Fair ? is a collection of six pieces of contract furniture made from furniture discarded by the same sector.

What is hypothyroidism?
An underactive thyroid, or hypothyroidism, occurs when the thyroid gland produces less than the normal amount of thyroid hormone. The result is the "slowing down" of many bodily functions. Although hypothyroidism may be temporary, it usually is a permanent condition. Of the nearly 30 million people estimated to be suffering from thyroid dysfunction, most have hypothyroidism.
- Autoimmune thyroiditis: The body's immune system may produce a reaction in the thyroid gland that results in hypothyroidism and, most often, a goiter (enlargement of the thyroid). Other autoimmune diseases may be associated with this disorder, and additional family members may also be affected.
- Central or pituitary hypothyroidism: TSH (Thyroid-stimulating hormone) is produced by the pituitary gland, which is located behind the nose at the base of the brain. Any destructive disease of the pituitary gland or hypothalamus, which sits just above the pituitary gland, may cause damage to the cells that secrete TSH, which stimulates the thyroid to produce normal amounts of thyroid hormone. This is a very rare cause of hypothyroidism.
- Congenital hypothyroidism: An infant may be born with an inadequate amount of thyroid tissue or an enzyme defect that does not allow normal thyroid hormone production. If this condition is not treated promptly, physical stunting and/or mental damage (cretinism) may develop.
- Medications: Lithium, high doses of iodine and amiodarone -- an antiarrhythmic agent used for various types of cardiac dysrhythmias -- can cause hypothyroidism.
- Postpartum thyroiditis: Five percent to 10 percent of women develop mild to moderate hyperthyroidism within several months of giving birth. Hyperthyroidism in this condition usually lasts for approximately one to two months. It is often followed by several months of hypothyroidism, but most women will eventually recover normal thyroid function. In some cases, however, the thyroid gland does not heal, so the hypothyroidism becomes permanent and requires lifelong thyroid hormone replacement. This condition may occur again with subsequent pregnancies.
- Radioactive iodine treatment: Hypothyroidism frequently develops as a desired therapeutic goal after the use of radioactive iodine treatment for hyperthyroidism.
- Silent Thyroiditis: Transient (temporary) hyperthyroidism can be caused by silent thyroiditis, a condition which appears to be the same as postpartum thyroiditis but not related to pregnancy. It is not accompanied by a painful thyroid gland.
- Subacute thyroiditis: This condition may follow a viral infection and is characterized by painful thyroid gland enlargement and inflammation, which results in the release of large amounts of thyroid hormone into the blood. Fortunately, this condition usually resolves spontaneously. The thyroid usually heals itself over several months, but often not before a temporary period of hypothyroidism occurs.
- Thyroid surgery: Hypothyroidism may be related to surgery on the thyroid gland, especially if most of the thyroid has been removed.
What are the signs and symptoms of hypothyroidism?
In its earliest stage, hypothyroidism may cause few symptoms, since the body has the ability to partially compensate for a failing thyroid gland by increasing the stimulation to it, much like pressing down on the accelerator when climbing a hill to keep the car going the same speed. As thyroid hormone production decreases and the body's metabolism slows, a variety of features may result.
- Pervasive fatigue
- Drowsiness
- Forgetfulness
- Difficulty with learning
- Dry, brittle hair and nails
- Dry, itchy skin
- Puffy face
- Constipation
- Sore muscles
- Weight gain and fluid retention
- Heavy and/or irregular menstrual flow
- Increased frequency of miscarriages
- Increased sensitivity to many medications
How is hypothyroidism diagnosed?
Characteristic symptoms and physical signs, which can be detected by a physician, can signal hypothyroidism. However, the condition may develop so slowly that many patients do not realize that their body has changed, so it is critically important to perform diagnostic laboratory tests to confirm the diagnosis and to determine the cause of hypothyroidism. A primary care physician may make the diagnosis of hypothyroidism, but assistance is often needed from an endocrinologist, a physician who is a specialist in thyroid diseases.
TSH (THYROID-STIMULATING HORMONE OR THYROTROPIN): An increased TSH level in the blood is the most accurate indicator of primary (non-pituitary) hypothyroidism. Production of this pituitary hormone is increased when the thyroid gland even slightly underproduces thyroid hormone.
ESTIMATES OF FREE THYROXINE: The active thyroid hormone in the blood. It is important to note that there is a range of free thyroxine levels in the blood of normal people, similar to the range for height, and that a value of free thyroxine that is "within normal limits" for the general population may not be appropriate for a particular individual.
THYROID ANTIBODIES: Indicates the likelihood of auto-immune thyroiditis being the cause of hypothyroidism.
How is hypothyroidism treated?
Hypothyroidism is generally treated with a single daily dose of levothyroxine, given as a tablet. An experienced physician can prescribe the correct form and dosage to return the thyroid balance to normal. Older patients who may have underlying heart disease are usually started at a low dose and gradually increased while younger healthy patients can be started on full replacement doses at once. Thyroid hormone acts very slowly in some parts of the body, so it may take several months after treatment for some features to improve.
Levothyroxine tablets come in 12 different strengths, and it is essential to take them in a consistent manner every day. A dose of thyroid hormone that is too low may fail to prevent enlargement of the thyroid gland, allow symptoms of hypothyroidism to persist, and be associated with increased serum cholesterol levels, which may increase the risk for atherosclerosis and heart disease. A dose that is too high can cause symptoms of hyperthyroidism, create excessive strain on the heart, and lead to an increased risk of developing osteoporosis.
It is extremely important that women planning to become pregnant are kept well adjusted, since hypothyroidism can affect the development of the baby. During pregnancy, thyroid hormone replacement requirements often change, so more frequent monitoring is necessary. Various medications and supplements (particularly iron) may affect the absorption of thyroid hormone; therefore, the levels may need more frequent monitoring during illness or change in medication and supplements.
Thyroid hormone is critical for normal brain development in babies. Infants requiring thyroid hormone therapy should NOT be treated with purchased liquid suspensions, since the active hormone may deteriorate once dissolved and the baby could receive less thyroid hormone than necessary. Instead, infants with hypothyroidism should receive their thyroid hormone by crushing a single tablet daily of the correct dose and suspending it in one teaspoon of liquid and administering it properly.
Since most cases of hypothyroidism are permanent and often progressive, it is usually necessary to treat this condition throughout one's lifetime. Periodic monitoring of TSH levels and clinical status are necessary to ensure that the proper dose is being given, since medication doses may have to be adjusted from time to time. Optimal adjustment of thyroid hormone dosage is critical, since the body is very sensitive to even small changes in thyroid hormone levels.
Appropriate management of hypothyroidism requires continued care by a physician experienced in the treatment of this condition.

The North/Northwest Suburban Task Force on Supportive Housing for Individuals with Mental Illness was formed to address the lack of housing for individuals with mental illness in the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago
It is estimated that 6% of the population lives with serious mental illness. Without proper support and access to treatment, they may have difficulty functioning in our society.
Many of these individuals who have ties to the north and northwest suburban area are inappropriately housed in facilities in other areas of Chicago. They are housed far away from their families and support. Others may be living with aging parents who are not fully prepared to serve as medical case managers for their adult children. Many are homeless.
For these individuals to have the best chance for recovery, proper housing and supportive mental health care is a necessity. One of the best ways to deliver those services is through permanent supportive housing. Our goal is to make affordable supportive housing a reality in the north and northwest suburbs.
"The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide for those who have too little."
